The South African documentary "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC", which tells the poignant coming of age story of two young men from Cape Town in pursuit of their dreams of becoming stage magicians, has been awarded Best Documentary at the Fourth


Annual African Academy Awards in Nigeria. "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC", which had its North America premiere at the Pan African Film and Arts Festival in Los Angeles in February, was directed by Daniel Roth and was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa as a joint production with Movie Makers International and Jon Seidman.



"I read an article in the paper about the students, and the College of Magic, and I just fell in love with the story," commented the film's director Daniel Roth. "I set out to make a hopeful, joyful movie


about Africa and am truly thrilled that the Academy recognized the film."



Among the judges at this year's African Academy Awards were African cinema experts Ayuko Babu, founder of the Pan African Film and Arts Festival, and Asantewe Olatunji, the festival's general manager, who accepted the award on behalf of the Los Angeles-based filmmakers.
